Christie Becker Violin

and was down for an adventure. She is amazing!!

ble to give her a playlist of songs that she could customize and play on the violin, truly catering to us on our day. She also sent us snippets of our songs as our day came closer which helped add to the excitement of our day! If we could give more than 5 stars, we would!  

move with your event timeline. You are allowed to personally customize your playlist, if you have a song that you really enjoy or find important, she will figure out a way to incorporate it! We got so many compliments having Christie at our event, she just really added a beautiful ambiance to the venue. I 100% recommend her for your wedding day!

ryone raved about how amazing talented she was. It brought so many tears to everyone’s eyes with her music. I would highly recommend choosing Christie for your next event!

nt ceremony in Mt. Rainier park and it was chaotic getting everyone to the same place on time, but Christie was there at the correct location and on time. She provided a sense of calm and ambience that set the tone before and after the ceremony.

t the entire planning process, helping us thoughtfully choose the perfect songs for our ceremony. She coordinated effortlessly with our venue and the church pianist, making everything feel smooth and stress-free. I had complete trust in her from start to finish. Our guests commented how beautiful the ceremony music was the entire night. She truly made the moment unforgettable!

loved her playing and would recommend her to anyone looking for a musician at their special event :)

played at our wedding and was amazing to work with. From the beginning, she was professional, prompt, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us shape the vibe we wanted. She went above and beyond -- even coordinating her attire to match our wedding theme which made our photos look that much more cohesive and intentional. On the music, Christie has a massive repertoire of 1K+ songs spanning many genres from R&B, hip-hop, pop, soul, movie/television soundtracks, and much more. She played with warmth, precision, and emotion, creating a soundtrack that made the day feel magical. She had our guests nodding along in admiration during our ceremony and cocktail hour. She also played for our first dance, giving us a great rendition of Stuck with U by Ariana Grande that we choreographed our dance to. She nailed Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar for our recessional -- which we loved. Yes, a classical violin rendition of Kendrick, and it hit hard. It was unexpected, edgy, and somehow still elegant—exactly the energy we wanted walking back down the aisle.

to our last dance, and Christie brought so much life to our wedding - her renditions of all our favorite songs were the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day! All our guests loved listening to her, and she got our very shy crowd dancing in no time! Her range of styles, from classical music to swoony jazz standards to poppy covers of the latest songs brought us so much joy! She was amazing to work with - super accommodating to our music preferences, with lots of ideas when we weren't sure what to do - such a warm, friendly person to be around! Day-of, she handled setup and tear down with ease and was such a calming presence throughout the day! Also!! She played with ODEZSA. HOW COOL OF A FLEX IS THAT.

ough the night and beyond. She has great communication skills and will learn any song you ask. Hire her, I promise, you will not regret it. Thank you Christie for being part of mine and my husband's special day.

feel by having live music for the ceremony. I’ve known for years that I wanted to walk down the aisle to the same song Bella did in Breaking Dawn and could not find a violinist who knew the song or would learn it without a steep charge. Luckily, my now wife found Christie through her Instagram. After initially meeting on zoom, we were thrilled to know she not only knew my processional song but had a huge repertoire of modern and classic songs-she understood our eclectic vision. Within minutes of our meeting, she already planned out a set list, timeline, and was willing to go over any changes or update us on new songs she added to her repertoire. Not only is she a gifted performer and has this wide range of pieces, she also is incredibly kind. We received an email each month with a song sample and countdown leading up to our wedding day. One of our favorite things to look forward to as we approached the big day (: She truly cares about making your vision come through in her performance and song choices and every conversation and plan made prior to the big day. Such a fun, whimsical, and wonderful experience to have had her for our wedding. Highly recommend!

ing a well-organized set list and thoughtful suggestions that helped enhance the overall flow of the event. Her advice about adjusting the length of the first dance song, knowing that most couples prefer it shorter, was invaluable and really contributed to a seamless experience. But what truly sets Christie apart is her incredible foresight and professionalism. After the wedding, we discovered that there had been a technical issue, and the ceremony hadn’t been recorded. Without anyone asking, Christie had taken it upon herself to record the entire ceremony — completely saving the day! Thanks to her, the couple will still have that priceless memory to look back on. Her musical talent is unmatched, and her quick thinking and generosity made a huge difference. Christie is not only an incredible violinist but also a true asset to any wedding or event. Highly recommend!

us such a custom experience. We were very grateful to have partnered with her, and she was a pleasure to work with.

rofessionalism and follow up. We loved working with her, choosing the vibe and songs. She was a very special addition to our wedding day and all the guests were excited they knew most of the songs. Our favorite moment is when the whole living room was singing Sweet Caroline. Can’t imagine that day without these special moments including our first dance.

and themes of the wedding (she even coordinated her dress to match our colors). She was very flexible and was able to curate an experience to fit our needs. She learned the song we decided to walk down the aisle to and really elevated the emotions of our wedding. It was truly a beautiful experience. and we highly recommend her. Nathalie & Erik

ur ceremony was a dream and Christie made it even more beautiful and special than anything we could have imagined. I highly recommend her!

everal moments stand out. Secondly, Christie set up and moved audio equipment around the entire day to enable me, our officiants and family members to speak on microphones to our guests. Finally, Christie worked closely with us to develop a music playlist for all parts of the day, but especially for the dancing portion of the reception. Our guests loved the music and had a a very fun time together at night. It was amazing that Christie was able to provide all of these services within one very reasonably priced package. Thank you Christie, we were incredibly grateful to have you as a part of our big day!

s, she came all the way to the Allision Inn and Spa in Newberg Oregon!! Christie made this day so very special for the bride and groom and for all the guests. Christie played the violin for the ceremony and the electric violin during the cocktail hour. We especially loved it when Christie led wedding party and guests from the ceremony garden to the cocktail hour along a meandering path, so much fun!! Christie was so responsive to all of our requests, had a wonderful selection of music, and was so attentive to every detail, a true professional.

pecial day. Christie took all of our preferences into account, demonstrating a keen ability to tailor her performance to our vision. Her communication was excellent throughout the planning process, ensuring everything ran smoothly and according to our wishes. Her beautiful music and elegant presence truly elevated the atmosphere of our wedding. I wholeheartedly recommend Christie to anyone looking for a sophisticated and memorable addition to their event. Thank you, Christie, for making our wedding day exceptional!

e up-beat covers of pop songs during cocktail hour through the electrical violin and Christie helped make that vision come alive beautifully! She also provided free-standing violin playing while we walked with guests from the ceremony to cocktail hour, which was so fun! She was very professional, kind and easy to work with, and helped curate certain songs to different moments based on what our hope was for that part of the wedding, and it all turned out so lovely! We would highly recommend for your event.

ional. Her music during the prelude really set the tone and I've gotten tons of compliments from guests. Her suggestions and ordering of the songs was as artful as her playing, and she really knows how to help create a vision/mood. She also has exceptional communication skills, which made my day so much easier.

along with a delightful message and encouraging words that made me feel so at ease! On the day of the wedding she arrived early, and even though our wedding was held at our ranch in a very remote location in Nevada, she found her way there and set up before the ceremony with no issues at all. During the ceremony she played beautifully and it was exactly the experience I’ve dreamt about since I was young! Could not recommend Christie enough, thank you so much!

e sent me sneak peaks monthly, and she really got to know me and my partner and focused on what musical experience we wanted and were asking for. She delivered. It was great to work with her. I would definately hire her again for a vow renewal! You can't go wrong.

e songs we had selected prior to our wedding day to ensure we had the perfect list of songs. Would highly recommend her for any event!

her play during our wedding ceremony. She customized a really amazing playlist with our input and was totally self-sufficient with setup and teardown on the day of the wedding. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a solo violinist for events.

laying with the idea, I felt understood. She grasped our personalities and also the vibe we were going for. Her proposal was so articulate and beautiful, we needed to make it official asap! It brought all the feels for us both. We had a lot of people in our procession and that included a variety of songs. She did a wonderful job transitioning between them all and did so with so much grace. Our wedding was pretty big so her playing songs that we picked out specifically together created an intimate moment between my husband and I. Christie was very patient, she communicated through email and by phone, when requested. She is very detailed, down to her own attire. I must admit that even with a day of coordinator there were things not communicated and I appreciated her diligence through it all. She is a very organized and punctual individual who takes pride in what she does. She is simply amazing!!!! We wanted people to feel LOVE, hear LOVE and witness LOVE and she definitely helped make that happen. Christie, thank you so much for being apart of such an incremental moment in our lives! To the readers, just book her! You won’t regret it!!!

ked Christie to play at our church ceremony and also at our reception for a knot tying ceremony. She not only was very familiar with Catholic wedding ceremonies, but also developed a perfect list of songs to play. She even contacted the priest to get it all approved. For the knot tying, she also developed a great play list with our input, and accommodated our last minute changes. She was able to create the perfect mood for both aspects of our wedding day, and they were quite different, showing her flexibility and creativity. When I saw her in person for the first time on our wedding day, she looked stunning and had a different outfit to match the tone of our ceremony and reception. I literally did not have to do anything. Christie had it all together before we even had to think about it. Not only is she a talented musician, but also a very professional business woman who provided us with a comprehensive, but simple contract. All our payments were super easy and done on-line. She checked in with us every couple of months and sent little clips of songs she would be playing. This built the momentum and excitement. Finally, Christie is simply a delightful person to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a classy, beautiful ambiance at their special event. On a scale of 1-10, we give her a 25!! Thanks Christie.

avorite songs during cocktail hour! Best decision we made , she was so great in communication during the planning process and I highly recommend !!

k with and was very professional and organized. We hired her to play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. From the start she was so easy to work with and was super responsive. Once we hired her, she created a planning page for us and helped us develop the playlist she would play for each. The thing I loved the most about working with her is each month, on the 7th of the month (we got married 10/7/23), she would send me a countdown email with a clip of something she would be playing at our wedding. I looked forward to her emails and loved this special touch that she didn't have to do! Once the wedding was getting close she started to work with our coordinator and I didn't have to worry about anything. She really elevated our wedding and it was perfection. Our guest kept raving about her too. I would definitely hire Christie again, she is a gem and so very talented!

made the process of having live music at your event SO easy. She knew immediately the vibe that I wanted for my ceremony and cocktail hour and executed it perfectly. She also took the initiative of working directly with my planner to ensure everything went smoothly. Christie truly cares about making events so special accompanied by her incredible talent as a musician! I could say 100 more great things about her but if you take anything away from this it would be to hire her for your next event! Thank you Christie!

us clips so we knew how certain songs would sound and her playing made me cry every time. She was such a wonderful addition to our day.

f custom requests for music that was not in her repertoire, and she was able to do all of them! Several of our guests approached us and asked where we found her, because they loved her playing os much. I would highly recommend Christie for your wedding or other event.

tensive list of songs that she can play, even includes those musical songs that we love! Her music set the tone of our wedding and definitely made me cry walking down the aisle. Every guests enjoyed it!

of our wedding day music expectations. Our ceremony and dinner would not have been as beautiful had it not been for Christie playing in the background. Hands down our best decision for our wedding day. Hire Christie and you will be so happy you did.

nths before our big day. Every month leading up to the wedding she would even send me short samples of her playing the songs we had chosen. On the big day her work was beautiful. My guests were blown away. Would absolutely recommend Christie!

they sought. It was through her gentle guidance that Stepanie and Alex were able to have their visions for a perfect wedding come true musically. She presented a flawless performance on the wedding day that started with all the guests singing along with her wedding piece. This was followed by providing a delightful, heavenly ambience during the cocktails from the edge of the forest. Christie is a gifted, impassioned and well organized performer who was able to direct and focus what she needed to deliver an excellent musical experience. Wedding; June 24, 2023 Venue: Tierra Learning Center, Leavenworth, WA David & Ligia daepbt@gmail.com

she played for us were catered to us and she even did some custom arrangements for us. All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about Christie. Christie is so very talented and the music was amazing and was beautiful to hear throughout the night. She was always so responsive to our emails and questions as well, and she can play just about any song you want. She really listened to our needs and catered the music to what we wanted, and it was just perfect! I highly recommend Christie for your wedding or next event! Thank you, Christie, for making our special day extra special!

liver! If you want a beautifully talented musician and an absolutely lovely human to work with for your special day, Christie Becker is IT! She was so incredibly easy to work with, helpful, and, given that we had a sunrise wedding which likely required her to wake up around 2 or 3am I think it's wildly important to share that she's also incredibly reliable. Seriously... stop searching. Do yourself a favor and elevate your special day by hiring Christie Becker Violin!

and was flexible when I changed my mind a few times! Plus at the 6 month mark, she would send monthly updates with clips of the music we chose and it would be a great way to get even more excited about our wedding. We got married in a cute chapel - after the ceremony we went upstairs to ring the bell and we got to hang out next to her for a bit while we took some pictures. From what I saw, Christie looked like she was having a lot of fun playing music and we couldn't have asked for a more genuine, caring, and dedicated woman to be a part of our special day :) - Teresa and Jacob

with our other vendors (sound/light, planners) to ensure that things would go smoothly day of. She worked with us in advance to plan the songs she would play and allowed us to choose multiple Bollywood songs, some of which were from a list she provided of songs she had played before and others which were not. On the day of, she gave a stunning performance that left our guests in awe. She played a beautiful medley of the songs we had discussed, and it was definitely one of the best highlights of the evening. I would definitely recommend Christie - she is incredibly talented and so great to work with!

h more beautiful and memorable.

ate a song list that included both hindi and english songs! She played the cocktail hour and our guests loved her so much that we actually had her play for an additional half hour! Thank you for everything Christie :)

e music as well definitely made our wedding experience a dream! Christie was quick to respond to our inquiry and even sent us an audio sample - which won my husband over. Christie is a classy act and we got so many compliments from our guests about her amazing performance! Book Christie, you won't regret it! Thank you Christie for being a part of our wedding and making it so memorable for many.

e is amazing! I found her by accident here on The Knot after having no luck with DJs, bands, or string quartets. I contacted Christie and we had a video chat within a day. We customized my entire list from ceremony to reception. She sent us sample clips each month up until the week before our wedding! This was a destination wedding for us, so we never met Christie or saw her play in person but trust me, you don’t need to because what you see and hear online from her is fantastic and what you see and hear in person is phenomenal! She is so talented, sweet, and easy to work with; she made last minute adjustments when the venue changed a few things from us and even took requests from our guests! I didn’t know what a Mixed Media Violinist does until I saw Christie’s work on her website. If you are worried it won’t sound right, or won’t be enough or it won’t be fun, I’m telling you to stop those thoughts! It was the best choice I could have made! My guests are STILL talking about what a beautiful job she did! Book her! You won’t regret it! Christie, thank you for making our day even more beautiful than it already was! ❤️
